Augrented Insights Report for 1581 St Nicholas Avenue

1581 St Nicholas Avenue is a five-story, 38-unit residential building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Amado Marin, located in Washington Heights. The property has experienced persistent rodent-related issues, with multiple complaints and recent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 showing continued rat activity despite compliance inspections.

The building also faces ongoing challenges with building maintenance and safety compliance, as evidenced by open violations regarding energy efficiency score display requirements established by the Administrative Code (dating back to 2020), and two recent undetermined violations from 2023 and 2024 related to its Energy Efficiency Score and Grade display. Residents have reported various maintenance issues over the years, including multiple housing maintenance code violations in 2022-2023, particularly affecting apartments 1D and 3G, involving problems with plaster surfaces, paint, and water leaks.

The property has had documented problems with heating and hot water systems in late 2021, and multiple instances of water-related issues and mold concerns documented through housing maintenance complaints in 2019. Bedbug reporting required by HPD appears to show no active infestations during the reported period from 2019-2020, though the building's history of maintenance violations suggests ongoing monitoring of unit conditions. The building has also faced regulatory scrutiny for failure to file required benchmarking reports and annual bedbug reports, with violations remaining active as of 2024.
